The study presented McCann, Hassard, Granter, and Hyde was conducted on the implementation of lean processes in an NHS Foundation Trust hospital. Their report highlighted many…

Lean Six Sigma, or LSS, is the combination of two separate management techniques: Lean and Six Sigma. Lean management focuses on disregarding waste, variation, and non-value adding tasks. This technique is meant to optimize improvement and customer focus through material and information flow. ¬¬¬¬ Six Sigma is the “second” part to LSS and can only be applied after a Lean commitment has been implemented.

3-D Printing Prosthetics by Cameron Norman There are between 10 and 15 million amputees in the world. People who go through the hardship of losing a limb go through an incredible amount of pain each day. Not only this, but attempting to get a prosthetic limb that may allow them to function as they used to, is not only a difficult, costly process but it also does not lessen the emotional pain of having to live without a limb. With 3D Printing becoming an increasingly popular new technology,…

Walk into a burgeoning classroom or administrative bureau and you will see a proliferation of printing equipment, ranging from color laser printers, mono laser printers, ink-jet printers and copiers. One of the institutions that benefits from the 3d printers are schools. 3d printer for school is an innovative machine that can make any printing chore a child's play.

can’t have a democracy as long as capitalism is our economic system.

They all lived in a period of great social change, that of the Industrial Revolution, and based their writings and musings upon what they observed happening around them and extrapolated as to the condition of the future. One foundational product of contemporary societies, that truly came into existence at the time…
